MasterCraft Union Limited Edition 'Kodo’ or corduroy in our relaxed Showa fit.

This dark charcoal handcrafted cord features a subtle vintage wash for an authentic worn-in feel. The embroidered gold circle on the wearer’s thigh is a mid 20th century vintage workwear detail, but it is a nod to Japan’s ‘circle of the sun’, symbolised in red on the Japanese flag. For MCU, it represents 100% made in Japan artisanal jean.

The fabric is a 10 wale black 100% cotton corduroy woven on narrow looms by an expert local mill in Kojima.

The Showa fit is a relaxed, loose fit leg profile. Inspired by 1940s loose workwear styles, but updated with a slightly flared hem that gives a contemporary look.

It has an 11” regular rise and a leg opening of 19 1/3”. Leg lengths are graded by waist size: 32L for waist sizes 28–32, and 34L for waist sizes 33–40.

Fits on body can be seen in the Collections section on the main site.
